    I think a lot of people won’t understand that it’s not *just* a phone. It’s about feeling lucky to be in a family that truly loves you. So many foster kids are not used to having money spent on them. Damn this was such an emotional video.

    • @maccifyme
      @maccifyme 3 роки тому +266

      I agree, and also probably about knowing they are trusted enough to get their own phone, they might never have experienced that kind of love and trust from an adult before. Getting a phone would make most kids happy, but these sweet kids ALSO gets "proof" that they are loved, trusted and respected in their forever family and I bet that is even way more important than the phone itself

    • @rue353
      @rue353 3 роки тому +93

      maccifyme A good point. Many foster kids will most likely not receive trust or care from parents prior to being adopted. This is an important step in realising that they matter and are valued just like all the other children in the family.

    It's not only that they trusted them with phones, but also brand new phones. iPhones! When you had spend your whole life moving from one place to another, from foster home to foster home, without nothing that really belongs to you, not even a shitty phone to keep in contact with your friends, having something like this is the most special thing ever.
    But also, having the same phone as the rest of your soon-to-be brothers and sisters it's a proof that the family really, really want you to stay there. I mean, it really means a lot.
    I'm getting a bit emotional, but I know what they're feeling and I'm really grateful that they have found such a wonderful family.

  • @BoyMom115
    @BoyMom115 3 роки тому +53

    For a kid who is in foster care, you literally have like a backpack full of clothes and that’s it most times. So for someone to care enough to give you something to call your own whether it’s a cellphone or a special blanket or anything that you can just call yours it’s a big deal. Especially coming from a family that wants you.

  • @christinevr7698
    @christinevr7698 3 роки тому +12

    This was beautiful. Not only did the kids get freely given gifts just because they are loved - they got THE ultimate gift. The thing about a phone, in this day and age, it's a really important thing to teens. Especially during a pandemic when you have to social distance, a phone is Not just a phone; it's a way to connect to friends and groups outside your immediate family, and building social interactions are key at this age. These days they are all online. NOT having a phone sets you apart. And the fact that it's such an expense, it would be hard for a child in long time foster care to even hope for one. So this would be such a big deal to these teens on so many levels.

Nice move giving Hallie a phone too, also nice she didn't expect one and has no jealousy at all. Great kids, and the new kids have a bit of independence now. So nice to get them the thing that all kids get these days, and also the phones were not tied to them having to do something. Great move Crystal!

    i was literally crying my eyes out, i try not to take anything i receive for granted because i know i’m truly blessed and seeing videos like this is truly humbling because things like someone loving and caring for you are not things that everyone has. when people complain about everything, it upsets me because we shouldn’t take things like this for granted. i got a job right before covid hit and when i started working, i noticed a lot of people complaining which is understandable but people were being laid off and furloughed left and right and my job was secure cause it’s essential. to complain about a secure job in the middle of a pandemic is to take your blessings for granted. i think more people need to think like this and maybe we’d all be a little happier

    When I was 6 my mother abandoned me and I ended up living with my Aunt and Uncle and I remember my 7th bday so vividly still. Every gift I received made me cry like crazy, I felt the love in every one of them. For my 6th bday, my present was that my mom got her hair done.😢 I remember my Foster children being so excited/thrilled and emotional for the simplest things. It always made me cry just like your kids' reactions did. It's not the phone/gift, it's the feeling of belonging and having a family that cares. What sweet children you have.

Hannah was amazing... being so genuinely happy for L and S, so happy for them that she was crying... even before she got her own phone. I have just come back to this after seeing Luke get his lovely blue car, and it reminded me of this video and wanted to re watch because all the kids in it were so sweet!

  • @millwx

    My comment was going to be exactly what the mom says at the end. I mean, I don’t know why everyone’s so surprised that the two new kids were so emotional. These are kids who were still in foster care as teens!!!! We don’t know their stories, but unless some tragedy to their parents landed them there within the past few years, these are kids who’ve probably never had anyone do anything so kind and so big for them. Did you notice how they almost threw the phones down so they could hug the mother? I’m certainly not saying they don’t care about the phones... they did go right back to them, lol. But their emotion isn’t about the phones. In that sense, when they were emotional that wasn’t what they were emotional about. They were emotional that, perhaps, for the first time in their lives, someone actually cared.
    I’ve only watched a handful of this family’s vlogs. I don’t know how they do it. I’d never be able to handle a crew that size, especially with all of the issues some may bring with them. Forget about the financial burden. More power to them. The mother and father in this family should be nominated for sainthood. What they are doing for these kids is phenomenal. (Brody is my favorite. He’s a bit wild, but funny. Lol)

She understands their situation and how it feels to go from nothing to having such a loving and supportive family. I’m so happy for all of them!!

I'm terminally ill now although 10 years ago when I was 32 I was given two years at the most and I'm still here albeit bedridden most of the time, so I'm a fighter. Anyway I had to give up fostering and being a primary school teacher which broke my heart. Before this I was about to start the process of adopting a 7 year boy that had been with me for about two years and even though it tore me apart it was best for him to go back into care in the hope that they would find him another family. He was a very violent angry boy and understandably so but this meant that potential parents kept putting him back into care and he is 19 now.
      Anyway I just wanted to say that I can understand how painful it can be when you desperately want children but are unable to. I always thought that families are made through blood but just as much so through love. I hope that you enjoy being an aunty to your friends children. My best friend that has been with me since we were 12 is like my sister and she has given me a lovely neice and nephew to love to bits. Xx

When I first saw my adopted parents they gave me a hello kitty bag and to my brother they gave a book and it was a thing that I knew that was mine and since that moment I felt that I would be really loved in that family. I didn't really knew a lot about what was going on at that time but I really am grateful to be part of a family that loves me and give everything so I can be happy. I also don't know like where I would be profissionally. At 7 years old I didn't even knew how to read and I didn't understood why I needed to study that stuff why I needed to know how to read. I feel grateful cause my parents always supported me and now I'm almost a college student. I wish the best of luck and happiness to these kids. They deserve to have a good life. It's not that easy to forget what was our past but the thing I know now it's that we can be happy even if we don't understand the reasons why we had to leave our birth families. I don't really know nothing about my birth parents, don't know if they're still alive and if they remember that I and my birth brother exist. The only thing I know it's that I'm happy now.

      Missy Davenport personally I have been seeing a little progress for a while. Recently I noticed she was making amazing progress. Her words if you paid close attention you could hear her sounds were becoming closer to words. But today it sounded pretty darn good. Not to mention you can see much less frustration when someone couldn’t understand her. I really think the best speech therapy is being around so many kids talking. Giving her almost all the time we’ll accept now that the kids are in school. I adore her display of affection but it touched me the most today. My tears flowed more today when she was hugging Luke and Savannah. I think she has the best parents. They have soft voices, I don’t think either get loud accept when announcing something good. They are also both mild mannered, extremely patient, huge hearts, and have enough to love to give to a 1,000 kids. They amaze me!

    God bless those children! They've found love, home and family! My heart goes out to them! I can't imagine being shuffled around from home to home, being abandoned and left behind. My heart is heavy seeing them go through so much. They've probably never had anything until now! Great adoptive Mom and Dad! Good job mom! Keep up the lords work, you're magic! Beautiful family!

    We are foster parents, and our agency requires us to spend x amount on new clothes per month. And even still, there will be kids coming from one family to another with very little. It's so hard. We had a little guy with us, and when he left, he had no idea that the clothes we had bought were his to keep. He said, "Wait, even the pikachu swim suit?" You've given them a gift of normalcy, and that means so much!

      I fostered under 4 for awhile until my husband was just done with it. They always left my home with everything I bought for them. Including birthday and Christmas presents. We used to get praised for sending along a little backpack on parental visits containing a few diapers, wipes, bottle or sippy cup, snacks and a change of clothes. Apparently we were one of the only foster families that did. I understood that ideally the parent would provide during the visits but should the kid be without if they didn't?

      @@tammyk6358 We have only had one placement, but the family they went to fell all over themselves thanking us for sending all of their stuff. And one sibling group we had for respite's next placement said they came with nearly nothing and they had been in care for a year. It's sad.

    When some one has never been given anything. And they now have someone who loves them and gives them a very nice things, that is exactly how they will be.

      I remember when I was first put into my forever home. I got a remote control car. I remember crying like a little baby. That was the first thing I could ever remember someone giving me something.
